K-pop singer Chungha has put herself under quarantine after two of her staff tested positive for the Covid-19 coronavirus following a trip to Italy. The 24-year-old singer, who returned to South Korea from Italy on Feb 24, has tested negative for the virus, said a statement from her agency, MNH Entertainment. One of them showed signs of fever upon returning to South Korea, while the other was found to be a confirmed case upon testing. Chungha and the rest of the staff "will go into self-isolation as requested by Korea Centres for Disease Control and Prevention", as a precautionary measure, said the statement. This comes amid fears that other South Korean celebrities who went to Italy recently might have been exposed to the coronavirus.
